Moving Home Checklist

4 WEEKS BEFORE MOVING HOUSE

Book a removalist if you aren’t able to do all the packing, moving and unpacking yourself. If it’s a DIY move, consider booking a trailer or truck to move large items.

Consider a cleaner and gardener to come before your move out and inspection date.

Start packing all the items you don’t use regularly and think about selling or donating any unwanted items.

Create an inventory of your items – make a note of what items are fragile and may need special care when moving.

Book storage facilities if necessary.

3 WEEKS BEFORE MOVING HOUSE

Put all important paperwork in a box you can easily access on your final day.

Notify anyone that needs to know of your move, such as your employer, banks, insurance providers, the ATO, other government agencies and more. You can do it yourself or use Australia Post’s Notify Organisations service for selected organisations.
